New project

This is where the first canvas ended up...right above the shelf, right next to my bedroom door. I LOVE how this canvas turned out...none of the butterflies are out of exactly the same paper, but they are all very similar and I think compliment each other very nicely! It helps to have a seemingly endless supply of scrapbook paper around :)

I'd kind of like to rest this canvas on a shelf above my nightstand rather than have it directly on the wall. I also think I'd like it better framed, there just seems to be too much white, but we'll see. For now this is it!

Jewelry Renovation

I don't know why these are each their own post...but this is my project of the week, or maybe I should say day. I bought the sewing circles Sunday night and had them ready for jewelry Monday. For a look at how it started just keep scrolling :)

Total Cost: $10.23
Total Time: 28 minutes

That smaller, top circle is made from a combination of 3 shirts. The white is one. The green border is from the neckline of the shirt the largest circle is made from and then of course the 2 butterflies are cut out of the shirt from the middle circle.

But the real purpose, and reason behind it all...a fun, creative, practical way to display (and use) my jewelry.

The skeleton, which I may say I like better than the final project? I' don't know, I go back and forth :)
